The tree pits in front of the Hamilton Co-Op at 221-243 McDonald Avenue
(between Fort Hamilton Parkway and Greenwood Avenue) have long been
neglected. They have been areas of compacted dirt and a collection place
for litter, broken car parts, and dog feces.

In an effort to beautify
this stretch of the neighborhood, the residents of the Hamilton Co-Op
have begun to plant flowers and plants in an attempt to reclaim these
spaces.

Unfortunately, these flowers and plants are being trampled. To protect
these newly-planted areas, the co-op is trying to raise funds to have
tree pit guards installed.

The starting cost of a tree pit guard, depending on
its size, is $550. The residents have set up a GoFundMe page to raise
the funds. Donations go to the New York Tree Trust and are
tax-deductible.

Anyone interested in helping to beautify this part of the neighborhood
can donate at https://www.gofundme.com/qtzajve4. A donation of any size
is acceptable and appreciated and is tax deductible.
